It’s sunny today. I went out on a walk. I talked to my dad. I tried to enjoy the simple things.

It’s easy to drift down into the melancholy. If I don’t give in, I get out of it with only a little bit of a struggle.

Even when I feel like crap, I keep going. My friend has a spiritual law of inertia — things in motion tend to stay in motion and things at rest tend to stay at rest. I applied that today and climbed out of the man-eating bed and had some breakfast. I haven’t climbed back into bed and after talking to some special people, here I am up and at ’em.
